I really don't understand why people are even discussing this anymore. I have this game, it sucked, it was 20 something years ago - no one should care. Moon Patrol was the shit.
Why is anyone talking about the Titanic? No one should care, air travel is the shit.
Choose "Desktop" and you are presented with the same familiar UI you would expect in Windows, and no full-screen Metro...
Then no one would ever write Metro apps and that whole "new" side would fail... which it is anyway. What MS is trying to force on the end user is experience with metro. THEN when you decide to buy a phone or tablet the end user will "naturally" buy something he/she is familiar with... an MS metro phone or tablet. They are trying to leverage all the desktop eyeballs they already own in to mobile eyeballs they need. And THAT is why Win8 deserves to fail.
That is not what you said. I'd have agreed that Reality TV rots your brain. You are setting up a strawman. I stand by what I said the way I said it, broadcast TV is useful.
I definitely feel there's a way to abuse this "Combinations of legal devices are legal". I mean, webservers are legal, and CD rippers are legal, so putting ripped CDs on a webserver should be legal too, right?
Agreed. A screwdriver is legal unless you are pulled over in a stolen car and the ignition is popped out, then if the police find a screwdriver you are in possession of a felony tool. You don't even need 1 or 2 other legal devices.
all this proves is that most people do the same thing every day. wake up, go to work in the same place, hit the same cell towers and call the same people
i bet if you start calling random numbers every day it might make it harder to identify you
'spatio-temporal points'... 'uniquely identify 95% of the individuals, based on their pattern of movement'. Your argument is faulty.
But since your phone number already identifies you, the profound implications for privacy referred to in the article somehow escape me...
Of course it does and the phone company already knows you, your #, your address, etc... That's not the point. What about mapping software? You tell google (or whomever) I am at coordinate A and need to go to coordinate B. You didn't volunteer your phone # but by mining logs you can be identified (at least as user X if nothing else). The implications is that just about any app you run has the potential to track you even if you don't sign in w/ an account or volunteer any personal information.
But there are differences in the software requirements for the launch vehicles and spacecraft, largely having to do with the different reaction times available. As long as a spacecraft is not within 250 meters of the International Space Station (ISS), it can take some time to react to any problem. For a rocket, that luxury is not available; it must react in short order.
[snarktag]The solution is clear, keep parameters in an XML file. Use base class reference objects and inject the proper objects at runtime. If vehicle=spacecraft inject Dragon engine controller. If vehicle=rocket inject Falcon engine controller. If vehicle=Roadster inject Tesla electric engine controller.[/snarktag]
There, now you can have 1 code base for your cars too!
BTW. I have a friend from Cuba and he likes the country. He feels that people (especially Americans) blow the problems out of proportion
Good for you, but an anecdote doesn't prove a point; "Man Visits Family" doesn't disprove Cuba's problems. I have been to Cuba more than once and been to several cities and villages; i.e. I got outside the tourist zones. I visited with a lot of people and went into a lot of homes; and yes there is a lot of poverty and oppression in Cuba.
Oddly enough when I was there last I meet a Cuban man visiting his family who currently resides in Sweden... what are the odds?
Does it transmit ALL the black box info? That would be handy like in Air France Flight 447, it wouldn't have taken years to physically find the boxes b/f knowing what happened. Is this true "cloud computing"? (groan.)

Good thing I have sprint, I never get any signal for the virus to send SMS messages, and forget about signing up for any services (useful or not). :/
The 20th century faxed me and wants its joke back.

Is this the year of the ReactOS desktop? :-p
reallocate all that useful TV bandwidth to something useful.
But it is being used for something useful. ... Oh wait, you mean something useful=something YOU value. Ok, gotit.

Now THAT's funny :)
Cow and Boy Have a "whale" of a good time this weekend.
You'll need some big Li batteries to power all that....oh wait....

But a very well documented fire.

I read the headline as "(how YOU can go) Swimming With Spacemen In NASA's Giant NBL Pool". I am a scuba diver and I'd pay a lot to dive in the NBL :/
From the Dilbert Newsletter:
I've also learned recently that "ironic" means anything you want it to mean. Example:
Me: "I heard that Bob was killed by a meteor."
Induhvidual: "Wow. That's ironic."
Me: "Why is it ironic? Was he an astronomer?"
Induhvidual: "No, it's ironic because, you know, what are the odds?"
Me: "So anything unlikely is automatically ironic?"
Induhvidual: "No, it also needs to be bad."
Me: "This conversation is ironic."
